Intro: E5C#5A5 (continue this strumming throughout the verses)
She walks to the table with an apron full of stains and asks, "hey sir,
what can I get for you today?"
I try to be polite and make nice conversation but the food's no good and
she doesn't even seem to notice me here.
Her shoulders slumped, I see her tear stained eyes head back through the
double sawinging doors, serving pies was not her goal in life.
I leave a tip like I think Jesus would, and smile, "thanks a lot, have a
nice day." and I'm on my way.
B5C5A5B5
Jesus what would you do? Can you tach me how to love like you?
E5B5A5B5E5B5E5
I want to give you everything, but I've got nothing of my own at all.
And if I give what I have not got, will you fill me up an make me
whole?
(E5 - C#5 - A5 progression again)
I see him sitting by the side of the building near the street sign, he's
got a sign saying "I will work for food."
He looks up with his glazed over eyes and says "How 'bout a dollar for a
veteran, a fellor American?"
Empty stomach, empty mind, empty soul, have I got the time to feed him a
little broken bread?
C I toss up a prayer as I walk on by, or give him a tract and a weak
faced smile, or do I take the time to show him a little love?
B5C5
I don't feel like I've got anything to give
A5B5G I guess I've got nothing to lose
E5B5A5B5E5B5E5
I want to give you everything, but I've got nothing of my own at all.
And if I give what I have not got, will you fill me up an make me
whole?
(E5 - C#5 - A5 progression again, harder, x4. Then just one strum at
the chord change time.)
I come back a couple of weeks later and see the same apron, same stains,
same split - end hair pulled back
She comes near and says "Hey mister, your smile picked me up the other
day, just thought I'd say thanks."
B5C5A5B5
And I don't know why it takes all my effort to try.
E5B5A5B5E5B5E5
I want to give you everything, but I've got nothing of my own at all.
And if I give what I have not got, will you fill me up an make me
whole?
